10 Reasons Why You Should Attend AIT Open Day

Friday, 21 July 2017

A school is only as good as its students and the work they produce

We’re super proud of the artwork our students produce every term. We showcase these projects to display the high quality work that comes from our students as a result of being mentored by some of the best in the industry.

This is also a way for you to see the quality of work you could be producing over time.

Funky Campuses and Cutting Edge Facilities

Our boutique Sydney and Melbourne Campuses are unique with the facilities on offer for our students. The campuses are small to maximise the amount of time our students have with their teachers and lecturers.

We also have some pretty cool spaces across both campuses that are there to help support our students with their projects:

Green Screen Room

Sound recording studio

Library

Student lounge areas

Mac Labs

Student Kitchen

Student Spaces for group/individual work

This is a great opportunity to see where you can hang out when you’re not in class!

Get to know the students of today

Speaking to current students studying at AIT is a great resource to take advantage of! They’ve been in your shoes before and have made the decision to select AIT as their preference for studying. Find out why?!

You can also find out more details about the courses and subjects from their point of view - what they love about their studies, challenges they may face and the support they receive from teachers and staff on campus.

Meet your future teachers and educators

Our teachers contain a wealth of information in their respective subjects. All our teachers have industry experience - and are still involved in the industry so they’re keeping up with the changes that occur everyday!

They will provide you with information about our courses and share their own industry experience too! Ask as many questions as you like here and participate in the demos they have available.

Take some time to play around with different equipment and software

During the Open Day, there will be different stations available for you to test out different pieces of equipment, get lost in the world of VR, experience games that have been created by our students and more!

With multiple options available across different disciplines, it’s important for you to know:

How our courses are structured

The subjects within each course/degree

Outcomes of each degree (including potential job opportunities)

And more!

Where will you be hanging out after class?

It’s important to know the type of environment you could be spending the next 3 years at. What’s the vibe like? Do you think you’d feel comfortable here? Plus, it’s important to know how and time taken to travel to your classes everyday, and where will you buy breakfast/lunch? Who makes the best coffee around? How long does it take to walk to the park down the road to chill out after your class?

Open Days are a perfect opportunity to scope out all these questions and more!

We’ll talk about the important info too like entry requirements and tuition fees

Each university and college’s entry requirements and application process is different. This is a great opportunity to find out what exactly is needed by you to study at AIT.

Everything from ATAR requirements, tuition fee breakdowns and the application process will be covered during our Open Day. Oh! And did we mention our higher education courses are Fee-Help Approved?!

What extracurricular activities will you be involved in?

We also host multiple industry events throughout the term. Ranging from AITTalks which usually go for 1 hour during the day or Master Talks that happen after school hours, we get the experts in across the different study options to present to students and give an insight on their own experiences. Recently, we invited the likes of Production Designer, Deborah Riley from Game of Thrones, Concept Artists, Ev Shipard and Gerhard Mozsi from Alien: Covenant and Art Director, Jacinta Leong from Hacksaw Ridge.
